God is good all the time - Ezra 8:1-36

About this episode

The episode explores how God accomplishes His redemptive purposes through a consecrated people who depend on Him.

This morning, as we continue our study through the book of Ezra, we discover this central truth: God accomplishes His redemptive purposes through a consecrated people who depend upon Him in prayer, trust His providential protection, and faithfully complete the mission He has assigned. This truth provides a theme that we should apply to our lives and to our thinking. True restoration requires more than returning to the right place; it requires returning to the Lord with wholehearted trust and obedient faith. Scripture text for today is Ezra 8:1-36.
